re: Clemson's coordinators opened up about the loss to LSU in the NC game

LSU should of scored another TD instead of kneeling down.

That would have given Clemson something else to cry about.

We’re lucky that LB got that targeting call. They were wrecking us with him in the game and we really didn’t momentum until after that. Once we got momentum, nothing was going to stop us.

We drove the whole field and threw a TD on that MLB pressure on the very play he hit Burrow. That dude looked like a wrecking ball because their scheme was to overwhelm A gaps when we went to bunch formation. This happened against A&M too on a possession where we had to punt against A&M. Good job Venebles watching film but I wouldn’t say that MLB was doing anything other than running full speed unblocked up the middle.

LSU was a really really hot team all year long.

LSU was a better team and Clemson was not winning that game without some huge breaks.

I’m not sure he was making excuses for the world, but sending a message to his team that they can work harder and get better. They have a lot of pride as a program—have established themselves as a top 2 program for sure, and an argument could be made they have slightly surpassed Bama. They’d won 2 of the last 3 NCs going into that game. Whats he supposed to say, “No matter what we would have done, no matter how hard we worked, no matter if we played mistake-free football, we simply had no chance against a much superior team.” What in the world would he say that for? He’s got to get those guys back busting their arse to try to get back to the top of the mountain. But if his message is “What’s the point?”

Who gives a shite about all this? He knows. We know. Everybody who watched college football knows. Quit being so goddamn insecure. shite.

Yes, LSU was hot as they were hot all year. In other words, they were better than every team they played with the best team/football players. They made your red zone offense suck. Give credit where it's due. Nobody was beating this football team.
